I haven't seen a definitive howto here or elsewhere for building
2.0.16 on Mac OS X, so I thought I'd post this for the archives.
I'm using 2.0.16 since the project I'm working on needs OpenLDAP,
which doesn't yet support sasl 2.x.
I used fink (a package manager, for those of you not familiar with
Mac OS X) for:
-db3
-openssl
Download cyrus:
>wget ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.0.16.tar.gz
>tar -xvzf cyrus-imapd-2.0.16.tar.gz
>pushd cyrus-imapd-2.0.16
Set these environmental variables:
>setenv PERL5LIB /System/Library/Perl/darwin
*fink sets the one above to it's own value, which fsck's up
some assumption on the
part of the imapd perl build environment, I think.
>setenv LDFLAGS -flat_namespace
>setenv CFLAGS -fno-common
*Unset the generic -I/sw/include and-L/sw/lib generally used
with fink. For best results,
point configure options directly at resource.
Copy config.guess so we recognize we're on Mac OS X:
>cp /usr/libexec/config.* .
rm msg.h from
imap/mboxlist.c
imtest/imtest.c
installsieve/request.c
perl/sieve/lib/request.c
add
<#include sys/time.h>
to imap/setproctitle.c
in perl/imap/Makefile.PL, change
my $SASL_LIB = $ENV{SASL_LIB} || "-lsasl";
to
my $SASL_LIB = $ENV{SASL_LIB} || "-L/usr/local/lib -lsasl";
I /did not/ have to add the above to the other Makefile.PL's. (sieve, etc).
Configure. I found that -with-sasl had to correspond exactly to the
location added into perl/imap/Makefile.PL. The configure script is
apparently MUCH nicer about finding things than perl is- ie configure
would find it in it's simlinked location (/usr) while perl would not.
Additionally, as mentioned, unless perl's -L matched -with-sasl=,
perl couldn't find -lsasl.
>./configure --with-sasl=/usr/local --with-openssl=/sw --with-dbdir=/sw
Make, etc:
>make depend ;; make all
Add Cyrus User to netinfo:
>echo 'cyrus:*:23459:6::0:0:Mail:/usr/cyrus:/usr/bin/false' | \
>sudo niload passwd /
sudo make install
...everything else goes according to the documentation.
